I spent another happy lunch hour today round at Studio Sonic recording a few more demo versions, for various useages. First of all I did This Is The Soundcheck. It wasn't, perhaps, the best to start with as I don't really know it very well, but we got through it with Tom The Engineer saying things like "No, do that again", which was GRATE! Throughout the session he would listen in and give suggestions and it was EXTREMELY helpful. Next I had a go at It Only Works Because You're Here, which came out rather nicely in the end. I had three goes at it, giving up when the second one went a bit wonky but then having another try when Tom said it was worth trying again. He seemed to really like it, which was nice, and I must say I do too - so much so that I've just stuck it up on our Myspace Page. Have a listen!

Finally I rattled through She Tastes Like Sugar, which I needed to record so I could send it to John The Publisher for submission for an ADVERT (commerce in ROCK!). I did it quite fast the first time then tried a much slower one, which Tom STOPPED half a chorus in,to point out that it was now TOO slow. I had another go and that seemed to work out pretty nicely, so then added some HANDCLAPS to it. Overdubbing Fun!

It didn't take long to mix, during which I noticed that a space on the wall had had several layers of paint removed to reveal an autograph from ADAM ANT saying "Best of luck in the '80's!"!! ROCK HISTORY! I was quite impressed!

Anyway, I collected my CD, paid my DUES, and left, rather chuffed with a very productive lunch hour. I'll be back!
